My first post on the Linux Mint forum! Using Linux Mint 8 from main Gnome install. I've updated the installed software. I've already read the two stickies on the multimedia forum page. I would think that many other Linux Mint 8 users would also like to be able to install these multimedia software tools.

I would like to install the following multimedia software for Linux Mint 8. Can someone walk me through what I need to do? I tried what people on Ubuntu said to do, but it did not work, so I would like it if some of the Linux Mint 8 users can walk through what to do that has worked for them to install these multimedia software tools. It would be easy for me if they walk me through what to do with Synaptic Package Manager instead of the command-line. These are the multimedia software tools that I would like to install on Linux Mint 8:

Were you able to install these applications on Linux Mint 8, or another version?

From the base Linux Mint 8 installation, I need some help to install the applications Kdenlive, QDvdauthor, and FFmpeg. It is not working, and that is why I posted. What repository would I need to add to add these applications with Synaptic Package Manager?

kdenlive:depends: melt but it is not going to be installeddepends: ffmpeg but it is not going to be installed

melt:depends: libmlt2 but it is not going to be installed

ffmpeg: Depends: libavcodec52 (>=5:0.5+svn20100208) but 4:0.5+svn20090706-2ubuntu2 is to be installed Depends: libavdevice52 but it is not going to be installed Depends: libavfilter1 but it is not going to be installed Depends: libavformat52 (>=5:0.5+svn20100208) but 4:0.5+svn20090706-2ubuntu2 is to be installed Depends: libpostproc51 (>=5:0.5+svn20100208) but 4:0.5+svn20090706-2ubuntu2 is to be installed Depends: libswscale0 (>=5:0.5+svn20100208) but 4:0.5+svn20090706-2ubuntu2 is to be installed

I have just taken the time and trouble to verify that the programs you want are available in "Package Manager" and the top three I have downloaded and installed. With Openshot simply go to their web site and follow their links. Same advice I gave you before.
